Kamilla Nelyubova wins the Russian Grand Prix stage in Yekaterinburg, Petrosian fourth

Nelyubova held onto the lead and took gold

At the fourth stage of the Russian Figure Skating Grand Prix in Yekaterinburg, 18-year-old Kamilla Nelyubova won among the women, scoring 217.06 points across the two programs. This was reported by Gazeta.Ru and Life.ru. Nelyubova led after the short program (78.67 points), and in the free skate she added 138.39, finishing more than 11 points ahead of her nearest rival. During the free skate she fell on a triple Axel, but this did not affect the final result.

The fight for the podium and Petrosyan's unsuccessful skate

Silver went to Arina Kudlai with 205.40 points, even though she had been only fourth after the first day. Bronze went to Zlata Burya, trailing second place by just 0.23 points (205.17). Adeliia Petrosian, a participant of the 2026 Olympic Games, was second after the short program, but in the free skate she received only 131.28 points including a two-point deduction: she fell on a quad toe loop and also fell on the step sequence. The result — 203.60 points and fourth place without a medal.

Season context

For Nelyubova this is already her second success of the season: in October she won the opening Grand Prix stage in Kazan, and she is also a bronze medalist of the 2026 national series final. This season the series has been marked by unstable results among the leaders: at the previous stage in Krasnoyarsk, 16-year-old Lidiia Pleskacheva won with 224.82 points at her debut senior competition, and earlier still, Kseniia Sinitsyna took gold in St. Petersburg, improving on her result after bronze in Kazan. Separately, Life.ru notes that Petrosian is included in the entry list for the Grand Prix stage in the USA, where, according to Gazeta.Ru, she will go without a coach; from the 2026/27 season, Russians are admitted by the ISU to competitions in a neutral status.
